Embodiment Construction

[0068] In the drawings described below, the same reference numerals designate the same elements. For greater clarity, identical elements will only be described the first time they appear. However, it is clear that variants and embodiments of elements described with reference to one of the figures can also be applied to corresponding elements in the remaining figures.

[0069] figure 1 A three-dimensional view of a linear conveyor system known from the prior art and described, for example, in DE 10 2013 218 389 A1 is shown. The illustrated linear conveyor system 100 includes a conveyor track having a first rail 140-1, a second rail 140-2, a first long stator 150-1, and a second long stator 150-2. The conveying system shown thus forms a double-rail system with linear motors on both sides.

[0070] Between the two rails, the transfer element 110 is systematically moved by means of magnetic interaction with the long stators 150-1 and 150-2. This conveying direction is indicate...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a transport system for transporting containers (130) in a container-handling installation, comprising a transport path which has at least one long stator (450) of a linear motor and a plurality of transport elements (410, 510, 610...) for transporting one or more containers, wherein the transport elements are arranged moveably on the transport path and each have atleast one secondary part (470, 1070, 1170...) for magnetic interaction with the at least one long stator, wherein at least one sequence of permanent magnets and/or electromagnets of alternating polarity is attached to the secondary part such that the respective transport element can be moved with the long stator via magnetic interaction of the magnets of the sequence along the transport path, andwherein an extension of at least of the first and the last magnets in each sequence is reduced and an arrangement at least of the first and the last magnets on the secondary part is selected such that the magnets of adjacent sequence ends of two successive transport elements occupy overlap-free regions perpendicular to the transport direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for the controlled movement of individually controllable conveying elements for conveying containers, packs, labels, closures or other packaging means, in particular bottles or cans, in a facility for handling containers. Background technique [0002] Conveyor systems with linear motor drives, so-called linear conveyor systems, are well known in the prior art. The most prominent example is high-speed passenger trains based on maglev technology. However, conveyor systems with linear motor drives are also used in many industrial fields, especially for the individual conveying of individual items within production lines. [0003] For example, in DE 10 2013 218 389 A1 a linear conveyor system with a plurality of magnetic rotors for conveying bottles in a container processing plant is described. The rotor conveying the bottles thus moves while being driven by the magnetic interaction between the secondary part of the roto...
